Like deceleration or diesel fuel? I hope you mean the first.

which part of the rotor is supposed to be lined up with the mark on the dizzy, is it the point that has the metal contact or the side that is just plastic?

my pulley does not have the O/T mark on it. wtf

not all 8vs have it, in this case use the punch/.notch on the rear face of the cam sprocket, line it up with the front for the head.

The metal end lines up with the notch in the dizzy.
As I already said, the crankshaft turns twice for every single rotation of the cam and distributor. Turn the bottom end over 1 more rotation and line the punch mark back up, as if by magic the cam and dizzy will be lined up close to or at TDC
